Another card using my new Martha Stewart border punch.
I started by punching the horizontal border. Then I matted it on black. Then I used the scrap pieces to put under the black to make the turquoise mat. I used a Fiskars punch to do the vertical border. The black paper with turquoise dots started out with white dots:) I had a highlighter marker out for other purposes, and happened to notice it matched my turquoise cardstock exactly! The flower started out white, also. I added a little black gem to it. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. (I noticed that the very same stamp is in two of their sets - Birthday Basics and Year-Round Puns.) Just an easy card. It's also the last one that I have to blog about. Hopefully I can get something done today for tomorrow!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I really like this card... I love turquoise and black... but I love black with most any bright color and love using it on my cards. You are changing my mind about that particular MS deep edge punch... I didn't think I cared much for it when it first came out... I used my coupons to buy all the other new ones that my Michaels carried at the time, but I skipped that one. I saw it at the store yesterday and even though I had a 50% off coupon in my hand I still didn't buy it, but now that I see your card... well... maybe next time! LOL!
I marvel at how you can always come up with something new and different for your CAS cards! What a brilliant way to use your punch. Love how you changed the polka dots to turquoise, too.
